I found out that gnome-common 3.18.0 was causing the infinite loop behavior. When I installed gnome-common 3.14.0, the ./autogen.sh and ./configure commands worked just fine. Make did unfortunately stop at this message:

/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.46.2/include/glib-2.0/gio/gliststore.h:36: warning: 'g_list_store_get_type' is deprecated (declared at /usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.46.2/include/glib-2.0/gio/gliststore.h:36) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
  CCLD     libosinfo-1.0.la
ld: unknown option: --no-undefined

I think the patch needs to added to the other makefiles in this project.
